Characterized by single-family homes and low-rise multi-family rentals along tree-lined streets, the Central neighborhood of Minneapolis lies about three miles due south of the city center. Bordered on the west by I-35, the Central area provides its residents with a convenient location and easy access to the amenities of the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul region.

Stroll well-kept sidewalks or the walking paths at Powderhorn Park, a 66-acre spread providing picnic facilities, an ice skating rink, a fishing pier, and athletic fields. For a change of pace, visit Central Gym Park on the neighborhood's south side to play tennis or shoot hoops indoors. Then drop into the highly popular Café South Side for a soup and sandwich, a fresh-baked pastry, or a cup of coffee brewed from organic beans.
